Psalms
119 is a heart cry from David about how much he needs the law of the Lord. David was lost without the guidance of the
principles of the Lord. So many times I
have felt the same way I do not understand how anyone can figure life out
without the wisdom, direction and promises of God’s word. I really like how the psalmist writes it in
these verses….
Psalms 119: 54-59 NLT ”Your principles have been the music
of my life throughout the years of my pilgrimage. 55 I reflect at night on who
you are, O LORD, and I obey your law because of this. 56 This is
my happy way of life: obeying your commandments. 57 LORD, you
are mine! I promise to obey your words! 58 With all
my heart I want your blessings. Be merciful just as you promised. 59
I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your statutes.”
David understood
that the compass of our lives needs to be the Word of God. Ps.119: 9-13 “How can a young person stay
pure? By obeying your word and following its rules. 10 I have tried my best to find
you -- don't let me wander from your commands. 11 I have
hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. 12
Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your principles. 13 I have
recited aloud all the laws you have given us. 14 I have
rejoiced in your decrees as much as in riches.”
God’s
word should never be a daily duty we check off but a miraculous gift that we
get to hold. Our hearts should be
continually thankful for the Word of God.
Your Word has
been formed in me
Making me who
I should be
Pouring over
my sin
Counseling
from within
Your Word has
been my guide
A place to
come and hide
A watchman on
the wall
Wisdom’s
constant call
An anchor in
the storms
It protects
and warns
It encourages
and strengthens
Explains and
enlightens
The heart of
God and the secrets of heaven
When with
Jesus I say it is written
